Mercure is not my normal choice when travelling on Business but this hotel was just a short walk from my meeting so it made sense. What a good choice it turned out to be!!
On arrival the reception team were very courteous and friendly. I booked a Superior Room and was provided with what in Europe was really a Suite. Seperate WC and shower rooms (no bath), large bedroom area that led into a seperate 'lounge/dressing room'. In the middle of the areas was a large desk which had a swivelling flat screen TV so it could be watched from either the Bed or the sofa. A coffee machine and mini bar built into the desk. Free WiFi is included with this room selection which was fast and easy to access.
The hotel has a small Fitness room with a couple of machines and a nice Sauna area. Unusually the Sauna is available 24 hours a day. Be aware that this is a typical German sauna so FKK rules apply but great to be able to use the facility at midnight. A really nice touch is that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays the hotel provides complementary Massages if you book with Reception in the morning. It is only 20 minutes but a great service.
The hotel does not have a 'restaurant' but does provide a range of Bar Meals at very resonable prices. 3 courses such as Soup, a Pasta Dish and Apple Strudel with a beer is about 20 Euro. There is a choice of about 6 main courses. This was really great as when I stayed the temperature was very cold and walking to eat was not what I wanted.
Location is very close to the Check Point Charlie crossing, just a 2 minute walk and the hotel is a 20 minute taxi ride from Tegal Airport, again about 20 Euro. So all in all great service, good food, ability to relax in the sauna, comfortable bed in a good sized room in a central location. What more could you ask for??
